I live in a place where they host championship trials bike competition, but also the best motorcycle touring. We know what works. Dr400 or the Kawasaki rebadged equivalent, lowered and FMFed, geared for 65mph max and add kick starter because youre going to drop it, kill it, and restart it often. Another good bike when you truck them in are Honda 230s or 250s. Add Bark busters and radiator guards or walk home. Yamaha makes good bikes but I don't know them. KTM is great too, but would make me sad to do to a KTM what happens out here. Your pretty bike won't stay pretty if you are /out here.
